Abstract

The Frontline Demonstrations (FLDs) on groundnut were carried out by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jalgaon Jamod, Buldana district of Maharashtra during the summer season of 2015-16 to 2016-17 in fields of 50 farmers at different villages of Buldana district. Farmers were randomly selected. The result of the present study showed that sowing irrigated groundnut crops on broad bed furrows in demo plots recorded higher yields than conventional farmers' farming practices. The average pod yield in the broad bed furrow seed drill sowing method was 23.79 q/ha. The technological gap range was found 1.26 q/ha to 3.17 q/ha. The technology index varied from 4.85 percent to 12.19 percent with an average of 8.52 percent over the study period, which showed the effectiveness of technological interventions. The average highest gross return of FLDs plots was Rs 57,548/- per hectare i.e. more than 26 percent higher compared to the conventional practices and average the benefit-cost ratio was 2.24. Groundnut productivity was considerably increased by conducting cluster frontline demonstration of better variety with intervention methods using proven technologies in farmers’ fields and improving the livelihood of the farming community.
